Intro:
DmCAm
*Verse*
Dm
Mama she has taught me well
CAm
Told me when I was young
Dm
Son your life's an open book
CAm
Don't close it before it's done
Dm
The brightest flame burns quickest
CAm
Thats what I heard her say
D
The son's heart's owed to mother
CAm
But I must find my way....
*Chorus*
DmCAmG
Let my heart go
DmCAmG
Let your son grow
DmCAmG
Mama let my heart go
DmCBbGAm
Mama let this heart be still.
*Intro again*
*Verse 2*
Dm
Remember my new last name
CAm
Wild blood in my veins
Dm
Draping the strings around my neck
CAm
The mark that still remains
Dm
Left home at an early age
CAm
of what I heard was wrong (?)
Dm
I never asked forgiveness
CAm
For what is said is done....
*Chorus*
DmCAmG
Let my heart go
DmCAmG
Let your son grow
DmCAmG
Mama let my heart go
DmCBbGAm
Mama let this heart be still.
*Bridge*
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/metallica/mama_said_crd.html ]DmG
Never I asked of you
CF
but never I gave
DmG
But you gave me your emptiness
CF
that I'll take to my grave
DmG
Never I asked of you
CF
but never I gave
DmG
But you gave me your emptiness
CF
that I'll take to my grave
DmCBbGAm
So let this heart be still.
*Verse 3*
Dm
Mama now I'm coming home
CAm
I'm not all you wished of me
Dm
A mother's love for her son
CAm
was spoken heavily(?)
Dm
yeah I took your love for granted
CAm
and all the things you said to me
Dm
I need your arms to welcome me
CAm
That cold stone's all I see.....
*Chorus*
DmCAmG
Let my heart go
DmCAmG
Let your son grow
DmCAmG
Mama let my heart go
DmCBbGAm
Mama let this heart be still.
DmCAmDm
Let my heart go
DmCAmDm
Mama let my heart go
DmCAmDm
You never let my heart go
DmCBbGAm
Mama let this heart be still.
*Bridge*
(solo over DmGCF twice)
DmG
Never I asked of you
CF
but never I gave
DmG
But you gave me your emptiness
CF
that I'll take to my grave
DmG
Never I asked of you
CF
but never I gave
DmG
But you gave me your emptiness
CF
that I'll take to my grave
DmCBbGAm
So let this heart be still.
